Such a beautiful piece of writing, Shannon. And a great photo of Sophie. What a sweetie pie. My daughter has a lot of the attributes you describe in Sophie.

All grown up now, though. Interestingly, even given her dreamy early upbringing, she is a fierce protector of women and her "life-choice" of work is as an advocate for women's reproductive rights.

She can pack a wallop with her words but she is still a total sweetie pie/marshmallow inside.

Motherhood is awesome!

Even if you and Sophie never get to Disney World,, sharing her life with you is the most important thing for your daughter. Enjoy your fantasy/dreams and I hope you get to them someday!
